More DescriptionThe community college is poised to contribute beyond its own community to across the world. To do so--to advance the work for the betterment of students and communities--it must engage internationally while building capacity.
Recognizing the growing importance of educating students in a globalized world, this volume explores the community college in an international context. It addresses global ideals, values, competencies, and understanding in a local context and shows:
- How individual community colleges have internationalized
- How models and partnerships can aid progression to comprehensive internationalization
- How international systems consider adoption and adaptation.
The authors point to a crucial vision for the future: Globalization has moved the U.S. community college steadily from international education as an add-on to international education as a choice, and now to international education as a crucial, integrated mission that has drawn increased interest from other nations intent on an educated, skilled citizenry. The community college is no longer about the United States; the community college is for all of us, a world phenomenon.
This is the 161st volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinct and expanding educational mission.
